Link title Believer is someone who believes.

It is understood as faith in God. Of course, each one among us may have a very different belief system viz Muslim or Buddhism, Hinduism etc..

Here in Singapore some are Hindus and actively believe in their way of life<Philosophy> or many others also believe in the Islam way of life. In a sense all religions believes in God.
However, a Christian is an unique believer in the Person of the Son <Jesus as the Son of God>of God. Someone who actively believe such a system <or creed> experientially became a Christian by active choice followed usually by a life-long adherence to that faith. Naturally such active believer found themselves relating to God via a relationship with Jesus as Lord and Savior <as found the Gospels among the early believers> This is the reality which many so-called adherent to the creed may not possess and necessary have, since it's a matter of a personal relationship' they never had entered actively. goto see born again.

God in a verbal voice spoken during the transfiguration on the Mount when Jesus prayed with his disciples, then the Voice of God spoke clearly, "This is my Son , hear (or follow) Him" . Jesus was particularly anointed of God as the Anointed One meaning the Messiah (anointed One) as in a particular chosen Person in History to act and speak for God in human language and culture.

goto Contextualization- He is the (G_d|G+d)'s only begotten<unique, one of a kind> Son, meaning in position Jesus claimed to be co-equal with G-d|G+d. Jesus, the one and only Son of God, among mankind there is no other but we can be adopted as children of God in another sense i.e. by right of adoption. A living reality as defined as a relation with the heavenly Father.

Although Christianity like the three major religions <Islam, & Judasism believes in the Monotheistic G_d,

- to consider Jesus a plain human as co-equal with God would be an oxymoronic idea, However - on the other hand, G_d verbally spoken regarding Jesus, (during the Baptism of Jesus),

- - "This is my Son, who is always well pleasing to Me> (G_d|God)!" !

If Jesus is not truly G_d's Son, he would be the greatest conman who fooled all people down to all ages.

Jesus himself was clearly in favor with his parents, his community, when he still a young boy of about 13 years of age! He had great abilities|gifts such as his great supernatural wisdom as evidenced by his ability to talk and level with the learned people at the Temple in Jerusalem. He is truly God unique son see John 3:16

The Apostle Paul considered Jesus the Christ (Messiah) and wrote: "Christ who was co-equal with God consider it as not robbery to humble himself as a servant and suffered the death of a criminal without any sins" see Bible in Paul's letter to Philippians 2:5-8. Would any man capable of robbing G_d? Yet in his human attributes, Jesus the Messiah evidently show he need not rob what was not his, but claimed fully all Divine attribute as his own in the Person of a humble human being! Therefore he (Paul) exhort all the believer " let this (mind of Christ) be in you" for believers. This is definitely the greatest ever treasure in any earthen vessel! 165.21.154.116 07:08, 14 May 2005 (SGT)Believers in Jesus as Savior and Master have or share this wonderful mind of G_d, a humbling thought, isn't it? 165.21.154.116

Considering these verses from the Bible found in Philippians 4:4-9

4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5.Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6.Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7.And the peace of God , which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

8.Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely , whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9.Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
These were written words from the Apostle Paul to the Philippe believers in the Way
